SOCIAL PEACOCK

                    SOCIAL PEACOCK 

Playing the audience
The peacock struts 
How daintily and deftly
He swans around weaving intrigue
Flattering all
The kiss of a hand or an awaiting cheek
Done to perfection
Him who knows the value of each person to him
Knows how to please
The machinations of a society full of gossip
And intrigue are his tools of trade
Used to solicit maximum gain
The wise are careful
The not yet burnt 
Flock to his ever awaiting arms
His guile 
His flavoursome words 
His hollow airs of concern
Are the skin deep glosses
That his fickle crowd adores
